1 Point Perspective

1 point perspective drawings are a type of pictorial drawing.
They are a realistic drawing of an object showing it as if it were disappearing towards 1 vanishing point in the distance.

A good example of a 1 point perspective drawing is railway tracks.
Up close they appear full size but then taper away thinner as they stray into the distance.

If a 1 point perspective drawing is full size from the front, what view of the shape or area will be drawn full size?
![Page 5: 1 Point Perspective. 1 point perspective drawings are a type of pictorial drawing. They are a realistic drawing of an object showing it as if it were](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b787f8b9ab0599b7c71/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Elevation is drawn full size with all depths tapered to the vanishing point.
Therefore, the following shapes seen as a front view should be drawn:◦ Rectangles/squares with 90° corners◦ Circles using compass◦ Triangles with angles measured

The rectangle below is the front of a box
All corners are drawn at 90°.

Here, the vanishing point is being added to the drawing.

Now all depths are projected back to the vanishing point.

You cannot make accurate measurements using a ruler when drawing a perspective drawing. Instead estimate the sizes by using a suitable proportion of sizes in the drawing.
These depths will be drawn horizontally or vertically.

Now darken in your finished 1 point perspective shape.

All depths go to the vanishing point. The front shapes are drawn as follows:
◦ Rectangles/squares with 90° corners◦ Circles using compass◦ Triangles with angles measured
You cannot measure depths. Instead estimate these depths, being careful to keep your drawing in a good proportion.
